more over, more than ever, foreign policy is economic policy. the world is competing for resources and global markets. every day that goes by where america is uncertain about engaging in that arena or unwilling to put our best foot forward and win, unwilling to demonstrate our resolve to lead, is a day in which we weaken our nation itself. my plea is that we can summon across party lines without partisan diversions, an economic patriotism that recognizes american strength and prospects abroad depend on american strength and results at home. it's hard to tell the leadership of the number of countries that they have to deal with the imf, balance their budget, create economic order where there is none, if we don't provide it for ourselves. it's also imperative that in implementing president obama's vision for the world as he ends more than a decade of war, that we join together to augment our message to the world. president obama and every one of us here knows that american foreign policy is not defined by drones and deployments alone. we cannot al

you focused mostly on foreign policy. does the reelection of president obama reflect a decision or impulse on the part of the american people toward decline? >> i think it does, undoubtedly. nobody consciously wants to see the country decline. we've had unparalleled influence in the world since the second world war and with the demise of the soviet union. the it became an unprecedented dominance of the world ever since 1990, 1991. the gap between the first power in the world, namely us and the second is larger than in the last 1500 years since the roman empire. even when the british were the leading power, the french and the germans an others were rather behind them. the combination of any two of the powers -- [inaudible] that is why they created the balance of power system. we have been living since 1990 or 1991 in an unprecedented situation. the question for the first decade and a half is what to do with that dominance? it hinged on one thing, keeping the economic house in order as the primary issue. the secondary issue

this week a focus on foreign policy. it didn't get much attention in the president's inaugural address, but as his second term is underway, there's certainly a lot of focus on some of the big areas that he will be occupied by when it comes to national security and the world. what are some of the big bets that president obama can make to cement his legacy abroad? joining me is martin indyk of the brookings institution, an assistant secretary of state for president clinton and also the author of "bending history, barack obama's foreign policy." i got to take part in a conversation of big bets, black swans, a presidential briefing where you and the team at brookings write about both some of the real dangers in foreign policy as well as some areas where the president can make an impact if he so chooses. there's a lot to digest including the fact a new secretary of state is going to be presumably confirmed by the senate, john kerry. and yet in the financial times as we do this interview it is hillary clinton and the questions
